Old-Fashioned Breakfast: Biscuits with Milk and Sugar

Here's a really old-fashioned breakfast we have been savoring this week: slightly dry biscuits, warmed up, doused in milk with a sprinkle of sugar. It's warm, comforting, nursery-style food for cold mornings. Have you ever tried this?

This is a breakfast I ate in childhood; my mother often put this out the morning after she made biscuits. Slightly dry and stale biscuits, warmed up to piping hot, with cold milk poured over, and that glaze of sugar — it's so delicious! It may look strange — soggy biscuits, eh? — but it's a really delicious and comforting treat in the morning.
